Truck Wheel Stops

Truck wheel stops are one of the most effective solutions to a multitude of problems that drivers face while trying to park safely and effectively in commercial parking lots with limited spaces. Parking stops are traffic control devices that can be used to create a vehicle parking boundary. When a vehicle is notified in this way, drivers can park their vehicles appropriately with the help of Truck wheel stops, avoiding crashes.

These also help to reduce curb overhang where it is unpleasant or dangerous to pedestrians and prevent encroachment into an opposing truck parking spot. This is why you may have spotted wheel stops in a variety of locations, including apartment parking spaces, school parking lots, hospital buildings, and shopping mall parking lots. The use of a wheel stopper for trucks will benefit any place with a big number of cars or trucks to park.

The Wheel Stop Co’s truck wheel stops are composed of recycled rubber and are designed to support the weight of bigger vehicles such as vans and trucks for extended time The truck enforcer, like the automobile wheel stop, is a one-piece design that allows the wheel stop to be fitted by one person without the use of heavy machinery.

Where Truck Wheel Stops Are Used

Truck wheel stops carry far more load than a standard car bay unit, so they are the correct specification for loading docks and dock levellers, hardstand and container yards, bus and coach bays, workshop and wash bays, and warehouse aprons where prime movers and rigid trucks reverse to a fixed point. Getting the stop position right protects dock bumpers, roller doors, building corners and the people working behind the vehicle.

Fixing for Heavy Vehicle Loads

Heavy vehicle units need more anchors than a car wheel stop, usually three or more, and the fixing has to suit the surface. Use 150mm concrete anchor screws in slabs and 250mm asphalt anchors in bitumen from our car park fixings and anchors range. On soft bitumen aprons, check slab thickness and consider a concrete pad under the stop. Our crews handle truck and car wheel stop installation across Melbourne.

Protecting the Rest of the Dock

A wheel stop controls the parked vehicle, but the dock still needs impact protection for everything around it. Most warehouses pair truck wheel stops with heavy duty in-ground bollards or bolt down surface mount bollards at building corners and racking ends, downpipe protectors along the wall line, rubber corner guards on columns and reveals, convex mirrors at blind corners and height clearance bars at covered entries.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a truck wheel stop different from a car unit? It is longer, taller and heavier, with more fixing points, so it can absorb the momentum of a loaded truck rather than being pushed aside.

Where should it sit relative to the dock? Set it so the tyre contacts the stop before the trailer reaches the dock bumper, allowing for trailer overhang and suspension travel. Send us the dock detail and we will advise.

Can you supply for a multi bay dock? Yes. Call 1300 846 039 or send your dock layout for project pricing.
